Khalsa Youth Camp is founded on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan – to share his vision of “Building Leaders of Tomorrow” – in a healthy, happy and sacred outdoor camp environment in the beautiful northern New Mexico mountains. The outdoor setting and camping in tents and cabins, a terrific vegetarian menu, loads of fun activities including Outdoor Skills, daily Sikh Dharma and Gurdwara, meditation classes, martial arts, field trips, community service and seva, and arts and crafts are highlights of the experience at KYC.

  Community Corner


Kundalini Yoga Community in Berlin, Germany

In Berlin, Germany, an 8,000-square-foot building has been purchased and is being renovated and converted into a residential Kundalini Yoga, Gatka and Vedic Arts Ashram by Nanak Dev Singh and his wife. The top three floors will be residences and the ground floor will be administrative offices, training and sadhana rooms, kitchen and langar. A unique feature of this ashram is that it follows the Vedic tradition that says the highest sadhana to perform is to find the balance between the warrior and the saint. So not only will a Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Bhakti sadhana be practiced twice a day, but also Gatka and Shastar Vidiya will be practiced regularly. The renovation will be in full swing in July and be completed and functioning in January 2009. You can find out more by contacting Nanak Dev Singh at nkhalsa2@arcor.de or visiting triguna.de.

Please send us your 3HO and Kundalini Yoga related photos and stories so that we can share them with the global community. Send them to PanchNishanKaur@3HO.org. Terms of Use

  Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer

Sat Nam,

I am sitting in my sun room on a Sunday morning reflecting upon what to share in this month’s message. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the only sounds are the variety of the birds of New Mexico singing. I appreciate moments like this.

We are only 43 days away from the start of our summer events in Española that begin with the Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration. I am grateful to be bonded with a community that is committed to creating spiritually harmonious lives centered in compassion and kindness for ourselves, for others and for our planet and that provides experiences throughout the year and throughout the world where we can be together. Wahe Guru.

I was visiting the KRI office last week and saw the following prayer displayed in a picture frame on the altar in the front room. The prayer spoke so loudly to me that I removed it from the frame to make a copy so that I could share it with others.

As I was retyping it for this message, I noticed that each beginning starts with “May”, and I thought, how appropriate.

A Prayer, from Yogi Bhajan

May your designated destiny give you the power to bless yourself.

May your mind find out the richness of your existence and give you all the power and strength of being so good and elegant.

May you start appreciating yourself in the sense of word, and in a comparative study may you be thankful for all the virtues.

May your values be shared in all the goodness and honesty, and may you be in a position to fall in love with you, so that you understand the basic love.

May God take away from you the interrogation of self criticism and self denial, and may you live well; in His name, with His grace, for His sake.

May you all be prosperous, virtuous, compassionate, kind, and caring.

May this day bring in you the change, so you can face the coming age with strength, with self loyalty, and with your own virtues.

May Almighty God make you worthy of it.

Sat Nam.

May you always be blessed with all that your heart desires.

With gratitude,
Bhajan Kaur
3HO Foundation
